Child Sex Grooming, Prison Brainwashing and "Allah Knows Best"

"A Muslim man with way too many extremist links to be entirely coincidental is now the Mayor of London. ... In a couple more decades Britain may well have its first Muslim Prime Minister. ... Reality cannot argue with demographics, so the realistic future for Britain is Islamic." — Paul Weston, British politician.

One-third of Muslim adults in Britain do not feel "part of British culture," according to a new report on British multiculturalism. Nearly half (47%) of Muslims consider their Islamic faith to be the most important part of their identity.

The government was accused of burying a report on prison extremism which warns that staff have been reluctant to tackle Islamist behavior for fear of being labelled "racist," according to the Sunday Times. Belmarsh, a maximum-security prison in London, has become "like a jihadi training camp," according to testimony from a former inmate. There are more than 12,000 Muslims in prisons across England and Wales.

Former MP Ann Cryer suffered verbal abuse and was accused of "demonizing" the Asian community when she began a campaign more than a decade ago to get the authorities to tackle child sex grooming in Keighley.

"At the end of the assault, when Mr. Zimmerman was lying motionless and defenseless on the floor of the ticket hall, the defendant crouched over him and quite deliberately began to cut Mr. Zimmerman's throat with a knife blade." — Prosecutor in the attempted murder trial of Somalia-born Muhiddin Mire, who attacked a random stranger in the London Underground.

May 1. Mubashir Jamil, a 21-year-old man from Luton, was arrested on suspicion of attempting to travel to Syria and engage in "violent jihad" with the Islamic State. He was charged with "engaging in conduct in preparation for committing acts of terrorism."

May 2. A senior British jihadi who boasted of recruiting hundreds of Britons for the Islamic State was killed in a drone strike in Syria, according to the Independent. Raphael Hostey, also known as Abu Qaqa al-Britani, left Manchester to join the Islamic State in 2013. The 23-year-old graphic designer became a key recruiter of British fighters and jihadi brides for the terror group and was also heavily involved in its propaganda. At least 700 people from the UK have travelled to support or fight for jihadist groups in Iraq and Syria.

May 4. The "Department of Theology" of the Blackburn Muslim Association ruled that it is "not permissible" for a woman to travel more than 48 miles — deemed to be the equivalent of three days walk — without her husband or a close male relative. The group also ruled that men must grow beards and women must cover their faces. The rulings were accompanied by the catchphrase: "Allah knows best."

May 7. Labour Party politician Sadiq Khan was sworn in as mayor of London. He is the first Muslim to lead a major European capital. During the election campaign, Khan faced a steady stream of allegations about his past dealings with Muslim extremists and anti-Semites.

British politician Paul Weston warned that Khan's rise is a harbinger of things to come:

"The previously unthinkable has become the present reality. A Muslim man with way too many extremist links to be entirely coincidental is now the Mayor of London. ... In a couple more decades Britain may well have its first Muslim Prime Minister. ... Reality cannot argue with demographics, so the realistic future for Britain is Islamic."

May 7. Mohammed Shaheen, a 43-year-old father of seven, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for raping underage schoolgirls. Shaheen, an immigrant from Pakistan, told the court he was a devout Muslim who had been framed by his victims. Judge Martin Steiger QC said: "He masqueraded as religious when all along he was behaving in this hypocritical way."

May 8. The Timesreported that Britain's biggest Muslim charity will brand hundreds of buses around the country during Ramadan with a slogan proclaiming glory to Allah. The initiative by Islamic Relief, a government-backed organization, is an attempt to "break down barriers" and portray Islam in a positive light. Islamic Relief has paid for hundreds of buses in Birmingham, Bradford Leicester, London and Manchester to carry advertisements with the slogan "Subhan Allah," which means "Glory be to Allah" in Arabic.

May 8. Six Algerian terror suspects with links to al-Qaeda were allowed to stay in Britain after winning a protracted legal battle. The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) ruled that there was a "real risk" the men would be tortured by the Algerian security services if they were deported. This would have violated Article 3 of the Human Rights Act, which guards against "torture or degrading or inhuman treatment."

May 9. A Muslim man who was found guilty of threatening to behead a candidate of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) had his sentence overturned on appeal. Aftab Ahmed, 45, had been found guilty of making threats to kill David Robinson-Young, but a Newcastle Crown Court judge said he believed that Ahmed did not intend to act on his threat.

May 10. The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) apologized for a counter-terrorism exercise in which a mock suicide bomber shouted "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest). Eight hundred volunteers took part in the overnight drill to make it as realistic as possible. Manchester peace activist Erinma Bell criticized the use of a "Muslim terrorist." She said "a terrorist can be anyone" and "we need to move away from stereotypes." A local Muslim leader, Syed Azhar Shah, said it was "shocking to portray Muslims as terrorists" and accused the GMP of "institutional racism." A statement released by GMP said:

"The scenario for this exercise is based on an attack by an extremist Daesh-style organization and the scenario writers have centered the circumstances around previous similar attacks of this nature, mirroring details of past events to make the situation as real life as possible for all of those involved. However, on reflection we acknowledge that it was unacceptable to use this religious phrase immediately before the mock suicide bombing, which so vocally linked this exercise with Islam. We recognize and apologize for the offense that this has caused."

May 10. The trial began of three Muslims who plotted to behead British citizens after being inspired by an Islamic State order "to kill civilians everywhere in the West." The court heard that Haseeb Hamayoon, 29, Yousaf Syed, 20, and his cousin Nadir Syed, 22, planned to carry out a terrorist atrocity after a fatwa was issued by Islamic State spokesman Abu-Mohammad al-Adnani. Hamayoon, who has a Pakistani passport, had bought a "Rambo First Blood II" hunting knife online using his wife's bank account. British born Nadir Syed had stored images of Lee Rigby's killers, and the three men had allegedly shared images of beheadings.

May 11. Prime Minister David Cameron apologized to Suliman Gani, a Muslim extremist, for saying he is a supporter of the Islamic State. Gani said accusations that he backs the Islamic State are defamatory and must be retracted. In a statement, Cameron said he was referring to reports that Gani supports "an" Islamic state rather than "the" Islamic State. The Muslim Council of Britain called on Cameron to repeat his apology in Parliament, and for an "urgent review" of Islamophobia in the Conservative party.

May 15. The BBC's religious output is too Christian, an internal review concluded. A report by Aaqil Ahmed, the BBC's head of religion and ethics, argued that that Muslim, Hindu and Sikh faiths should get more airtime. One Muslim leader suggested the review could lead to Friday prayers from a mosque being broadcast in the same way that Christian church services currently feature in the BBC's programming. Ahmed's appointment to the BBC in 2009 was controversial because of allegations he had shown a pro-Islam bias in his previous role at Channel 4, according to the Telegraph.

May 16. The government confirmed that Sharia-compliant student loans will be offered for the first time in Britain as part of an effort to boost the number of young Muslims applying to university. The new halal (permitted or lawful) finance model complies with Sharia law, which forbids Muslims from taking out loans on which they would be charged interest. In a white paper, the government said:

"We will introduce an alternative finance system to support the participation of students who, for religious reasons, might feel unable to take on interest-bearing loans.... To ensure participation and choice are open to all, we plan to legislate for the creation of an alternative model of student finance."

May 17. One-third of Muslim adults in Britain do not feel "part of British culture," according to a new report on British multiculturalism. Nearly half (47%) of Muslims consider their Islamic faith to be the most important part of their identity. Only half (54%) of British adults believe there are a set of values that all nationalities and religions in Britain can agree upon in the future.

May 17. Belmarsh, a maximum-security prison in London, has become "like a jihadi training camp," according to testimony from a former inmate. Now a whistleblower, the former inmate said that a group of jihadists who call themselves "the Brothers," or "the Akhi" (Arabic for brother), have gained control of the prison, where many convicted terrorists and terror-related offenders mix freely with ordinary prisoners. "The problem is that Belmarsh is also a holding prison and so young people who are brainwashed and indoctrinated then go out into the wider prison system and create wider Akhi networks." In the five years to December 31, 2014, the number of Muslim inmates at Belmarsh has more than doubled to 265, or 30% of the total prisoners.

May 17. A Muslim convert who was arrested for a plot to behead a British soldier had his sentence reduced. Brusthom Ziamani, 20, was arrested in east London; he was carrying a 12-inch knife, a hammer and an Islamic flag. At his trial, the court was told that he had researched the location of Army bases in London and had shown his ex-girlfriend weapons, described Lee Rigby's killer, Michael Adebolajo, as a "legend" and told her he would "kill soldiers." The judges reviewing his sentence said: "Given his youth, we consider that the custodial part of the sentence, namely 22 years, was too long." Instead they gave him 19 years.

May 18. Ofsted, the official government agency responsible for inspecting and regulating British schools, admitted that it failed properly to inspect a school run by the Deobandis, a conservative Muslim sect, because the inspector was "prohibited" from talking to pupils or staff. The inspector's report into child safety at the private Zakaria Muslim Girls' High School in Batley said that celebrations for the Islamic festival of Eid meant he could only speak to senior managers. After Sky News reported on the issue, Ofsted said it was taking "appropriate action" against the inspector concerned and has re-inspected the school, which teaches 149 girls aged 11 to 16. Deobandis, many of whom are said to shun non-Muslims, are thought to control around half of Britain's private Islamic schools.

May 18. The Queen's Speech, setting out the government's program for the next session of parliament, unveiled a controversial new counter-extremism bill that includes powers to gag individuals and ban organizations deemed as extremist. The bill does not, however, include a definition of extremism. Until now the main focus of British policy has been to prevent violent extremism. Simon Cole, the police lead for the government's Prevent anti-radicalization program, said that the proposals targeting alleged extremists are not enforceable and risk creating "thought police" in Britain by making police officers judges of "what people can and cannot say."

May 18. A Muslim man who was arrested after giving police a false name filed a lawsuit against the City of London Police for discrimination. Akmal Afzal, 23, claims he was arrested at the 2012 Olympics because he was an "Asian man with a beard." Afzal, a Briton of Pakistani descent, was released without charge but is suing for false imprisonment, assault and discrimination. His lawyer said: "His position is he did nothing wrong and he says the reason he was treated in the way he was relates to his ethnic origin and/or his religion."

May 22. The government was accused of burying a report on prison extremism which warns that staff have been reluctant to tackle Islamist behavior for fear of being labelled "racist," according to the Sunday Times. The independent review, commissioned by Secretary of State for Justice Michael Gove, says that Islamist inmates have exploited the "sensitivity to racism" among prison staff by making false complaints that they are victims of discrimination. The review recommended the creation of "specially designated units" in high-security prisons to house the most "dangerous, extreme and subversive" Islamists. There are more than 12,000 Muslims in prisons across England and Wales, according to the latest figures.

May 23. British and American intelligence services identified 27-year-old El Shafee Elsheikh as the fourth member of the Islamic State execution cell responsible for beheading 27 hostages. The four guards, led by "Jihadi John," were nicknamed the "Beatles" because of their English accents. Elsheikh, who was granted asylum in Britain when he was seven, left for Syria in 2012 after being radicalized in just 17 days after attending mosques in London.

May 23. A British Muslim woman who wanted raise her children in the Islamic State in Syria was jailed for two and a half years. Lorna Moore, 34, who failed to tell authorities that her husband, Sajid Aslam, 34, had left for Syria, was planning to take her three young children, one of them 11 months old, to the war zone. During sentencing at the Old Bailey, Judge Charles Wide said Moore, a Muslim convert from Walsall, West Midlands, "knew perfectly well of [her] husband's dedication to terrorism."

May 23. A survey conducted by ComRes on behalf of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK found that 33% of British adults believe that Islam promotes violence in the UK. The study also found that 56% of Britons disagree with the view that Islam is compatible with British values.

May 24. The BBC reported that a National Health Service (NHS) doctor who spent seven years working in Britain left his wife and two children in Sheffield to join the Islamic State. Issam Abuanza, 37, a Palestinian doctor with British citizenship, is the first practicing NHS doctor known to have joined the Islamic State.

May 25. Police in West Yorkshire revealed that they are currently investigating 220 alleged cases of child sex grooming in Keighley and Bradford. The cases involve 261 suspects and 188 victims. The revelation came after Keighley's former MP, Ann Cryer, called for the perpetrators of the crimes to be brought to justice. Cryer suffered verbal abuse and was accused of "demonizing" the Asian community when she began a campaign more than a decade ago to get the authorities to tackle child sex grooming in Keighley.

May 25. A Nigerian man launched an appeal against a decision by the Home Office to strip him of his British nationality. The man, known only as L2 for legal reasons, is directly associated with close friends of Michael Adebolajo, who murdered Lee Rigby in London in May 2013, and Mohammed Emwazi, or "Jihadi John." L2 was deemed such a national security threat that Home Secretary Theresa May personally signed an order removing his British nationality in 2013.

May 26. Home Secretary Theresa May established an independent review into the "misuse" of Sharia law in Britain. The inquiry will examine if Sharia ideas are being "misused or exploited" to discriminate against women. The review will not, however, examine whether Sharia law itself is discriminatory against women. A Home Office statement said: "It will not be a review of the totality of Sharia law, which is a source of guidance for many Muslims in the UK." According to May, many British people "benefit a great deal" from Sharia teaching.

Baroness Cox, who has spearheaded a parliamentary drive to rein in unofficial Sharia courts in Britain, said:

"My reservation is that it won't get to the root of the problem. ... a lot of Muslim women I know say that the men in their communities just laugh at this proposed investigation, that they will go underground so the investigation will have to be very robust.

"But the aspects which are causing such concerns — such as that a man can divorce his wife by saying 'I divorce you' three times — that is inherent; the right to 'chastise' women is inherent; polygamy is inherent. I don't think those things are a distortion of Sharia law. These are aspects of Sharia law which are unacceptable."

May 27. A British citizen who plotted to carry out a suicide bomb attack at Heathrow Airport was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Minh Quang Pham, 33, was sentenced in New York for travelling to Yemen to train with members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Pham pled guilty to three counts of terrorist-related activity based on his support for the group, but denied he intended to carry out his plot and no attack ever occurred. Pham, a Vietnamese born British convert to Islam, was first arrested in Britain in June 2012 and was extradited to the U.S. in February 2015.

May 29. Music festivals, big sports venues and nightclubs have been placed on "high alert" for potential jihadist attacks, according to a senior anti-terrorism officer interviewed by the Sunday Times. Neil Basu, the deputy assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said that crowded places — including Glastonbury, billed as the world's largest music festival, which will draw 135,000 people to Somerset from June 22 to 26 — are a major concern for police this summer. Basu warned: "These people are perfectly happy to target civilians with the maximum terror impact. Crowded places were always a concern for us, but now they are right at the top of the agenda."

May 31. The trial began of a Muslim man who tried to decapitate a random stranger in the London Underground. Somalia-born Muhiddin Mire, 30, attacked musician Lyle Zimmerman, 56, at Leytonstone Underground station on December 5 with a knife while yelling, "This is for my Syrian brothers; I am going to spill your blood." The jury was told that after the attack, police found images of Islamic State hostages having their throats cut on Mire's cellphone. The prosecutor said:

"At the end of the assault, when Mr. Zimmerman was lying motionless and defenseless on the floor of the ticket hall, the defendant crouched over him and quite deliberately began to cut Mr. Zimmerman's throat with a knife blade. Mercifully, Mr. Zimmerman survived the ordeal because, although he suffered three jagged wounds to the front of his neck, none of them caused any damage to any of the major blood vessels in that area."

Left: Muhiddin Mire, a Somalia-born Muslim, tried to behead musician Lyle Zimmerman at a London Underground station with a knife while yelling "this is for my Syrian brothers." Right: Belmarsh maximum-security prison in London has become "like a jihadi training camp," according to testimony from a former inmate.

Opposing instead of celebrating the reduction of the government's officially defined "White British" category to a minority in Britain well before the end of this century, and the conversion of a Christian nation into a Muslim "Shariate", is ipso facto "racist" and "Islamophobic", and therefore "evil", if not (yet) illegal.

The Archbishop of Canterbury suggests that only "baser" instincts stand in the way of England being a country "open to the world". Millions of Turks, Arabs, Africans, South Asians and Chinese are welcome to replace the people of Bede and Hooker, Wesley and Newman, - the only snag - it might prove a bit difficult for the LGBTI "community".

At least the former Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks had a few more sensible comments to make about western families and populations.

Are there enough Brits with sense and spine to put a stop to this nonsense?A good start would be to vote OUT in the coming referendum.
On past performance I suspect that the answer to my question would be NO.

I quote:-

"One-third of Muslim adults in Britain do not feel "part of British culture," according to a new report on British multiculturalism. Nearly half (47%) of Muslims consider their Islamic faith to be the most important part of their identity."

Now, here's a strange coincidence. I would hazard an educated guess that more than 75% of indigenous Brits (those whose ancestral line in the British Isles goes back centuries rather than about a maximum of 40 - 60 years and who actually have recognisably traditionally 'British' names) do not and have never regarded our Muslim 'friends' as proper fellow-citizens, and seeing them described in the press as 'Britons' is at best 'odd' if not downright laughable and insulting. This would not be a result of 'prejudice' but on a day-to-day assessment of their perceived behaviour and attitudes; they have never seemed to 'fit the bill', in fact they have rarely even attempted to conform to or respect 'native' standards and sensibilities, and the disparity seems to be growing, not diminishing. And, following some of their frankly insulting public utterances and demonstrations, we are left in no doubt as to where their loyalties lie, whatever such loyalties are worth; and it's clearly NOT with us 'proper' Brits or anything we stand for. So, no surprises here.

As for the business about Khan, the new mis-elected Mayor of London, the only people who wanted HIM in office were the hard-left and the habitual Labour-voting sheep who were conned by the cheap 'son of a London bus driver' joke and, of course, the now-unfortunately-sizeable Muslim lobby in what is laughably supposed to be the 'English' capital city. Because these elements concentrated their votes on Khan and the opposition vote was too widely dispersed among too large a number of opponents, Khan sadly got in. However, it is already going sour. Khan has already (within a month!!) reneged on a key undertaking to peg public transport fares, without so much as a suggestion of an apology or recognition of his duty to his misguided electors, and the 'anti' vibes in the media are starting to become discernable. I think people are waiting for the evidence of him starting to throw his weight around in the same partisan fashion as the disreputable former mayor of the the Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets and - of course - the inevitable corruption. Things got so bad that the Government had to step in and take over the running of Tower Hamlets, and I believe that there is a chance that the former mayor in question may be enjoying Her Majesty's hospitality at some time (if not already). One wonders if the same fate might befall Khan.

Khan is elected the Mayor of London. London has not become Londonistan. Tomorrow, A Muslim would become the PM of England. This does not mean that England would become Englistan.

Jayell Iftikhar Ahmad • Jul 1, 2016 at 10:11

London SHOULD not become 'Londonistan' with a mayor who happens to be Muslim. England SHOULD not become 'Englandistan' if the PM happens to be Muslim. This would, however, depend on the degree to which said Muslim 'Mayor' or 'PM' respects the sensibilities of the strictly non-Muslim vast majority of the UK, and keep their Islamic proclivities strictly to themselves. The increasing evidence, however, seems to be that those of a Muslim persuasion do NOT seem to be able to keep their Islamic proclivites to themselves but rather broadcast their identity publicly even if this involves indulging in standards of behaviour and dress that do not conform with those of the majority and even cause offence to the majority.

Because of this, certain parts of London and the UK already appear to resemble 'Londonistan' or 'Englandistan', and this phenomenon has long been noticed by many, including the writer Melanie Phillips, who I believe may have coined the word 'Londonistan'. Growing evidence also suggests that, when allowed any influence, those of an Islamic persuasion seem to feel they have a duty actively to share their Islamic commitment with their non-Muslim fellow-citizens, to the extent that they appear to believe that they have some right to insist on the general over-riding assent to Islamic principles wherever these people feel (rightly or wrongly) that their sphere of influence exists or has some right to exist.

So, I'm afraid to have to say that Iftikhar Ahmad is wrong. A Muslim mayor of London, if not kept in check, could easily create 'Londonistan' and a Muslim PM could easily create 'Englandistan', and the reason would be the absence in Islam of that magic ingredient long venerated in traditionally British society - 'Respect'.

A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. The whole world belongs to Muslims. Muslim community in all western countries need Masajid, state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers, halal food, sharia laws and Muslim cemeteries,otherwise, the future generations would be lost in western Jungle.

You and your society must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different. The number of Muslims is on the increase because of immigration, high birth rate and conversion. Muslim children must learn and be well versed in standard English to follow the National Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve humanity. The medium of instruction in all Muslim schools is English and not Urdu or Arabic. At the same time he must learn and be well versed in Arabic, Urdu and other community languages to keep in touch with their cultural heritage and enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. He does not want to become notoriously monolingual Brit. The whole world belongs to Muslims.

There are hundreds of state and church schools where Muslim children are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be opted out as Muslim Academies. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.

The demand for state funded Muslim schools is in accordance with the law of the land. Muslim community is not asking for any favour. The demand for Muslim schools is nothing to do with integration or segregation, It is purely an educational issue. There are only 18 state funded Muslim schools. I would like to see each and every Muslim child in a Muslim school and I hope one day my dream would come true.

Jayell Iftikhar Ahmad • Jul 2, 2016 at 18:45

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear me (that's an English expression of utter exasperation, by the way), what gem of intellectual perfection do we have here? I quote:-

"A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village.".....So the earth is 'tiny' is it? Really? That must make the UK and Europe microscopic then, and even less capable of coping with the recent demographic strains that certain kinds of people think it should! And that term 'global village' is a hackneyed 1970's/80's buzzphrase from the beginning of the IT revolution when people actually thought that instantaneous global communications would effectively replicate a village community over the entire planet. It didn't because it didn't provide for the close regular contact that a real village provides, and the entire fanciful concept became discredited. Doesn't Mr Ahmad realise this?

I continue quoting....."The whole world belongs to Muslims."....Really? So no one else gets a look in, then? No one else has any rights of ownership, as it were, no matter which part of the globe they inhabit? Mr Ahmad needs to explain THAT one, please.

I continue quoting...."Muslim community in all western countries need Masajid, state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers, halal food, sharia laws and Muslim cemeteries,otherwise, the future generations would be lost in western Jungle."....Well, in the UK they already have that, although it has never been UK policy to fund minority institutions as a matter of course, nor is it reasonable for national taxpayers to be expected to do so. Minorities, acting outside the accepted cultural/ethical remit, should be prepared to fund their own projects.

I continue quoting..."You and your society must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different...." Well, that has been enshrined in UK law for decades now (the Race Relations legislation), whether people over here have liked it or not, and minorities in the UK have been free to virtually do as they please within the limits of criminal law. Let us now compare that with the situations that we find in most muslim countries (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Qatar, to name just three) where you either cannot deviate from islam and all that it prescribes or proscribes, or criticise it, on pain of severe punishment or death, or you may be subject to State-endorsed persecution of the most barbarous kind. It's all been well-documanted, so there is no argument about that. And Mr. Ahmad has the sheer temerity to presume to lecture others on 'respect' and tolerance'? I think Mr. Ahmad needs to obtain a good English dictionary and check the definitions of these words before he tries to start 'advising' people on these subjects.

I continue quoting...."The number of Muslims is on the increase because of immigration, high birth rate and conversion"...Well, if Mr. Ahmad is referring to the UK, we are all unfortunately aware of that, but the circumstances in which this is happening is not always what one might term 'laudable'. Immigration is not always legal, as is well known, high birth rates are largely funded by the UK taxpayer through social services and welfare payments (and the average taxpayer is NOT happy about that!), a large proportion of conversions occur under some kind of duress (many occurring in UK prisons as the result of thuggish behaviour of muslim inmates who are represented at five or six times their proportion in the population, a truly appalling statistic!). Even more appalling is the sheer criminality within the muslim community where muslims who leave or wish to leave islam have frequently been subjected vicious vendettas, quite contrary to UK law or accepted codes of conduct within the UK. And Mr. Ahmad has presumed to tell us 'learning about respect and tolerance'!!!!

I continue to quote...."Muslim children must learn and be well versed in standard English to follow the National Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve humanity...".... Since when has it been an aim of islam to 'serve humanity'? According to the Qu'ran, it has been the main aim of islam to SUBDUE humanity! And if there had been any evidence of islam selflessly serving humanity, we would at least have seen it from the oil-rich Gulf States as they 'selflessly' helped all those refugees from Syria. What did we actually see? Nothing of the kind, apart from mealy-mouthed, nasty, arrogant excuses for inaction that fooled no one! And who did help all those refugees in the end(assuming that they ARE actually 'refugees')? Why, the very people whom Mr Ahmad thinks he needs to inform about 'respect' and 'tolefrance'!!

I continue to quote..."The medium of instruction in all Muslim schools is English and not Urdu or Arabic. At the same time he must learn and be well versed in Arabic, Urdu and other community languages to keep in touch with their cultural heritage and enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry..." Sorry, can't make head or tail of that.

I continue to quote..." A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village..." (here we go again!!)..."He does not want to become notoriously monolingual Brit."...All English secondary schools, and many primary schools, teach French, German, Spanish and even sometimes Italian and Russian as well. Add to that a new drive to teach Mandarin Chinese and possible even Japanese. All British schools of 'grammar' status have also taught Latin as a core subject for centuries. What a stupid, ignorant comment from Mr Ahmad!

I quote again..."The whole world belongs to Muslims..."...or what ever is left of it if that assertion from Mr Ahmad ever becomes a grim reality.

I quote again..."There are hundreds of state and church schools where Muslim children are in majority"...actually, it would be only a small percentage of UK schools that happen to be in islamically-enriched areas, and where the muslims are clearly being shown quite a lot of 'respect and tolerance', it would appear.

I continue to quote...."In my opinion, all such schools may be opted out as Muslim Academies. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school"....Hang on a minute, what's Ahmad going on about here? Where has all the 'respect and tolerance' that Ahmad has been so keen to lecture US about, suddenly disappeared to? Or is this so-called 'respect and tolerance' a one way street system that just happens to suit the direction that Mr. Ahmad wants to travel? Seems like I've come across this sort of thinking in a nice little book I've been reading called the 'Qu'ran'.

I continue quoting..."The demand for state funded Muslim schools is in accordance with the law of the land." On no it isn't. And muslims are in no position to 'demand' anything over and above anyone else!!

I continue quoting..."Muslim community is not asking for any favour."...Oh for God's sake do ME a favour!!

I continue quoting...."The demand for Muslim schools is nothing to do with integration or segregation,"....I'm sorry, but I just don't believe this man. What did he say earlier? I quote (again!)..."There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school"...and we're NOT talking about 'integration or segregation' are we? Or aren't we? So what ARE we talking about? Perhaps we're not actually speaking the same language! After all, I'm only a 'monolingual Brit'(we'll forget my 'O' levels in Latin, French and German and my fluency in Dutch, plus my bit of Italian and Cantonese).

"There are only 18 state funded Muslim schools.".... Well, muslims are only about 3-4% of the UK population - officially.

Last quote.."I would like to see each and every Muslim child in a Muslim school and I hope one day my dream would come true.".... And what sort of 'tolerance and respect' would they be learning there that they couldn't learn in a mainstream school, Mr Ahmad? Or shouldn't I be asking that question? Because the answer might lie in Mr Ahmad's assertion that "the whole world belongs to Muslims". If so, Mr Ahmad's 'dream' might just be everyone else's nightmare.

You have raised lot of irrelevant issues. I will concentrate on one. The whole world belongs to Muslims, means that where ever Muslims live, they must have their own Masajid, state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers, halal food, sharia laws and Muslim cemeteries.

In Islam there is no commandment to kill people by making such allegations against them. The cartoonists had exercised their freedom of expression, and freedom of expression is totally allowed in Islam. Even during the Prophet's time there were several instances of ridicule, however the Prophet and his Companions neither punished such persons nor asked anyone to do so. On every occasion of this kind, the Prophet's Companions always tried to positively disseminate the message of Islam. They never tried to punish these people. The killing of those people who had published the cartoons is a gravely un-Islamic act in the name of Islam. What did killing Saddam Husain do. What did killing Osama Bin laden do? NOTHING!!!. There is a long line of replacements. I don't know the answers. He was asked by MI5 to join them...so you know he is working for them.

It is a crime against humanity to send Muslim children to non-Muslim schools with non-Muslim teachers. They do not understand the needs and demands of the Muslim children. Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. It is nothing to do with racism, segregation or integration. It is purely an educational issue.

Pakistani youths who are victims of terrorism and sexual grooming are the product of British education system. They find themselves cut off from their cultural heritage and are unable to enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. Sexual grooming is a British value and the poor Pakistani youths have adopted this vital British value. Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. The whole world belongs to him/her. He/she does not want to become notoriously monolingual Brit. He /she is well versed in English, Arabic, Urdu and other community languages. Muslim community is paying all sorts of taxes and contributing for the economic, social and spiritual prosperity of the British society at large. Pakistan is only seven hours away from London.

I loved London when I lived there, and could travel and see historical sites. It saddens me to see London taken over by this horde of people who have no intention of respecting British traditions, yet scream and wail about their rights to deconstruct any traditions of Britain...and use violence and disruptive behavior to get their way. Why is this going on, do the Brits not care for their country?

Jayell Iftikhar Ahmad • Jul 7, 2016 at 05:42

Good morning, dear reader. The story so far......

I posted a reply to someone about the detrimental effects of having a Muslim mayor of London (islamification, etc.). Back came a short reply from a Mr Ahmad (no doubt a Muslim compatriot of the new Mayor) who seemed to attempt to reassure me that this would not be the case. I replied back with a somewhat longer posting, citing evidence of how this sort of thing had already happened. This in turn prompted a long and not too consistent reply from Mr Ahmad which was rather difficult to follow and was no doubt intended to be some sort of put-down, but which completely negated the 'conciliatory' tone of his first (short) reply and, if anything, confirmed my original argument. So I copied it and pasted it back on line, with my own responses added at appropriate points, and then, oh dear, oh dear, what do we get back? Well, I won't bore you with the complete 'piece de resistance', but.....

1. Quote..."You have raised lot of irrelevant issues."....How the devil does one 'raise irrelevant issues' when one is simply repying to the text as originally presented? One is not 'raising' anything, and the subject matter cannot be 'irrelevant' if it refers directly to the original issue! Does Mr. Ahmad know what the word 'irrelevant means' means, I wonder?

2.Quote..."I will concentrate on one" ('irrelevant issue' - but why bother if it's 'irrelevant'?). "The whole world belongs to Muslims, means that where ever Muslims live, they must have their own Masajid, state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers, halal food, sharia laws and Muslim cemeteries."

Oh no it doesn't. The English verb 'to own' means to have exclusive property rights over something, so when Mr Ahmad says that 'The whole world belongs to Muslims' he is saying (reading English properly) that muslims ipso facto have exclusive property rights over the whole world. Then, contradicting every reputable English dictionary, he tries to infer that this is not what the verb 'to own' means at all, but it simply suggests that muslims have got to have whatever they want, and we've all got to pay for it. That's not what I learned in my English education (more of THAT later!!!)

3. Quote..."In Islam there is no commandment to kill people by making such allegations against them."....

Is it really possible to KILL anyone by making an accusation? So if I go up to someone in the street and say 'You're a filthy rotter', that person will instantly die? Interesting thought! But does Mr Ahmad actually mean that islam does not demand that people who displease it should be 'dispatched'? What about "Kill the Unbeliever wherever you see them" and "Strike them on the neck", etc., etc. ad nauseam, quoted from the 'Holy' Qu'ran.

4. Quote..."The cartoonists had exercised their freedom of expression, and freedom of expression is totally allowed in Islam" - so long as you don't say anything nasty about islam, or make 'unseemly' suggestions about the Great Prophet. Or maybe all those muslims who get so easily 'offended' don't actually undefstand islam? Mr Ahmad mjust educate them!!!! (More of that later!)

5. Quote..."Even during the Prophet's time there were several instances of ridicule, however the Prophet and his Companions neither punished such persons nor asked anyone to do so. On every occasion of this kind, the Prophet's Companions always tried to positively disseminate the message of Islam. They never tried to punish these people."

Now, during the Prophet's time there were actually quite a few instances of ridicule, and the 'Prophet's' response, when he'd got enough people with him that is, was usually to (in modern English parlance) 'sort them out'. This might include (and this is just one of many examples) taking over a town and beheading up to 900 people (usually the men, or so we're told), with lamps brought in specially to get the job done overnight, and the 'Prophet' was apparently in on the job. And then doing unuterrable things to the women and girls. This story comes from islamic holy writ, but it appears that Mr. Ahmad didn't get as far as reading that bit; strange, because some muslims actually celebrate that event every year!

6. Quote..."The killing of those people who had published the cartoons is a gravely un-Islamic act in the name of Islam." Do me a favour, Mr. Ahmad, go visit your local optician nad obtain a GOOD pair of reading spectacles, then try reading your holy literature again - but ALL of it this time, not skipping the bits that might not impress your civilised friends.

Well, I'm not sure how 'relevant' the business of the cartoonists is to considerations of the Mayor of London, but Mr Ahmad then goes on to convince us that Sadam Hussain and Bin Laden were both angels, and that MI5 have been the dirty rotters behind everything - whatever that lot has to do with a muslim Mayor of London.

7. Quote...."It is a crime against humanity to send Muslim children to non-Muslim schools with non-Muslim teachers."...

Crime against HUMANITY???? That's what people normally say about things like the Holocaust. Bit of an overstatement there, perhaps? Ever so slightly? Or aren't the rest of us 'human' enough?

8. Quote..." They (non-muslim teachers) do not understand the needs and demands of the Muslim children."

So all muslim children are 'special needs', are they? Why?

9, Quote...."Muslim cildren need state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods."

Here we go again. THEY want 'special treatment', WE all pay for it. There's an answer to that which would get me banned from this site. And I think that we already know about 'Muslim teachers as role models' after Ofsted (the UK school inspection agency) raided an 'exclusive' muslim school in West London and found enough offensive antisemitic and anti-christian etc. material in their text books to fill a sequel to 'Mein Kampf'. I believe that we can gather here exactly how these people wanted their young charges to develop.

10. Quote....."There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. It is nothing to do with racism, segregation or integration. It is purely an educational issue."

Right. Well, we already know that islam is not a 'race', but we have here a rejection of integration and a demand for educational segregation, but apparently it's 'nothing to do with integration and segregation'. Very interesting! It's purely about 'education'. 'Segregated education', that is. And why does the education have to be segregated? Because they want to fill the heads of their pupils with things that might not go down too well with the rest of us in the civilised world? Or are WE (non-muslims) the ones that are not 'civilised'? As we shall see...

11. Quote...."Pakistani youths who are victims of terrorism and sexual grooming are the product of British education system. They find themselves cut off from their cultural heritage and are unable to enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. Sexual grooming is a British value and the poor Pakistani youths have adopted this vital British value."

I've been reading my neswspapers for years, and looking at world topical websites, and watching the media, and on the rare occasions that Pakistani youths have been the victims of terrorism, or 'sexual grooming', it has been at the hands of other muslims, Pakistan is or otherwise, and hardly ever, if ever, in the UK (I'm not sure how many people in the UK would even want to touch Pakistani youths with a barge pole, to be frank). I have however heard of odd traditional practices in various muslim countries (Afghanistan and I believe Pakistan as well) involving men and youths. In the UK there is now mountains of evidence in the hands of the police concerning grooming crimes, pretty well completely committed by muslims against thousands of ENGLISH and other non-muslim girls. Sexual grooming has been a worldwide problem since time began, but has not figured prominently on a day-to-day criminal basis in the UK until the arrival of muslims into UK indutrial towns - FACT. Mr Ahmad doesn't seem to be asware of that; or perhaps it doesn't matter to Mr Ahmad. This suggests that this kind of activity is most certainly NOT typically 'British' and has most certainly NEVER been even mentioned in British schools, which partly explains why muslim gangs managed to get away with their 'activities' for so long. Mr Ahmad's remark on this matter, no doubt projecting is islamic values onto the UK, is therefore utterly offensive and would merit legal action on the grounds of gross libel.

12. Mr Ahmad then repeats himself (again!!) Quote..." Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools....There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.... A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village.... The whole world belongs to him/her...."

13. Now the good bit. Quote... "Muslim community is paying all sorts of taxes and contributing for the economic, social and spiritual prosperity of the British society at large." Government figures - 49.5% of male muslims in the UK are economically inactive, therefore living on benefits and not contributing to the ecnomy. Likewise 75% of female muslims. The muslim population in UK prisons is at least five times that of their proportion of the UK population and it costs as much to keep a prisoner as it does to send a child to a top Public (fee-paying) school, more so for muslim because of their 'special needs'. Added to that, the cost of extra personel in the police and security sectors to counter islamic terrotism in the UK now amounts to tens if not hundreds of millions of pounds sterling and has also caused expensive and unpleasant disruption to air travel (which used to be a civilised experience). And the impact of islam on the majority of the UK population has been to increase a general distrust of religion and an increase in agnosticism or atheism. In any case, the notion of 'spirtual prosperity' seems to be utterly nonsensical. You just can't have 'spiritual prosperity'.

13. Final Quote. Thank God....."Pakistan is only seven hours away from London." Really? In the light of experience,I think we in the UK would prefer it to be seven LIGHT YEARS away!

The Barbarians, liberated by the failed Obama-Clinton ME policy, like a tsunami, invades Europe for the rich Islamic states of the ME refuse to accept them among their own! The International Socialists (La gauche Euro-Americaine) are focusing their HATE on Israel and condone its own self-destruction while the Islamists act on their HATE of the West.

In the mean time, China, India, Russia, Europe and the US willingly decide to wait and see. The elites are never at risk.

If Bush made a mistake, Obama, Clinton converted IT into a catastrophe.

The US ME policy will change only if a Republican become the US President.

This is just the same problems that happen everywhere there are Muslims. The most unfortunate thing about all that is going on is that we have a Prime Minister, David Cameron, who is a devout coward and refuses to see the problems created by Muslims in all sections of society. He's another of those deluded politicians that thinks Muslims will become good citizens of our country. Like most European politicians who have exposed their citizens to violence and hatred from Muslims the belief is that the 'religion of peace' will overcome the radicals within their communities. They won't of course, they'll just carry on protecting them because deep down their 'religion' dictates their lives and the way they act. They do very little to integrate, and there are only a small minority that accept our way of life in the west. The fact that the Mayor of London is Muslim is an example of what is happening in Britain today. Most real Londoners have moved out to the suburbs to get away from what's going on. But of course Cameron and the other idiots in the asylum formerly known as the Houses of Parliament don't appear to have noticed this just yet. Perhaps in a few years they'll catch on! Most people in Britain are fed up with Muslims but are gagged from expressing their real concerns. This country is completely and utterly stuffed!

Are EU & Scandinavians listening? Unless the EU is dismantled and reformed this immigration crisis will continue. Trump is right it is time Obama resigned and Hillary was removed. We are facing war and it is now the only answer to this problem.

Our new London mayor, Sadiq Kahn, has appeared on many extremist platforms since 2006 and spoken to a black flag waving crowd. No doubt he never anticipated the chance of becoming mayor. His majority is similar to the number of Muslims in our city. He needs to be watched.

(1) I would like to know, in detail, as to why multi-culturalism is so desirable in the entire Europe. I can understand the need for cheap labour, revenue from them as an offset against having to care for rapidly aging population.

(2) What I don't understand is the fascination and obsession with ENRICHMENT OF THE EUROPEAN CULTURE. Was Europe culturally impoverished?

(3) Child grooming, molestation/rapes, counselors trying to hush up the matter and threaten the victims, victims being subjected to psychiatric care ( no one knows whether it's due to the understandable irreversible traumatic experience that requires psychiatric care or it's again an attempt at hushing up with medication). I will highly appreciate a detailed reply on my email from anybody.

Mind well I am an Indian but not one of those who want an apology from Britain about what happened during the Raj or one who is trying foolishly to get the Kohinoor back.

I feel, let bygones be bygones-let's work together against a common threat.

So please let me know a balanced (never Leftist) answer.

Thanking You,

Hi Viraj, the only explanation I can rationally come up with for this cultural suicide is globalisation, in order to create a super state you have to at first destroy all sentiments/attachments of citizens to their Nations, or replace them. The young are brainwashed to hatred of their own country.

On a lighter note, surely the British of occupation wasn't all bad, cricket?

viraj Duncan Cleeve • Jun 20, 2016 at 02:54

Thanks, D.C.for your response.

What a horrible concept and unless people rise on their own nothing will be done. No one can be brain washed unless one wants to. If the Pegida or AFD and others fight, they are proscribed. Austrian Opposition can't be reached. Hence, common citizen has to do whatever there is and not sit back frightened. After all, Communism and Fascism are the same, ideologies APPEAR different but manipulation of people, breaking their morale thus subjugating them is what is seen here.

I do not hold British of today responsible for anything done long ago. Neither do I believe in asking for Kohinoor. We have to work together against future attacks and so I started writing here. Best Regards,

Hello Raj. Mind if I quote you?

"1) I would like to know, in detail, as to why multi-culturalism is so desirable in the entire Europe. I can understand the need for cheap labour, revenue from them as an offset against having to care for rapidly aging population."......

Certain ruling elites of European establishments may want so-called 'multiculturalism' for their own selfish ideological or economic ends, no-one else does; in fact, a lot of people in the UK actively hate it. And the argument that it compensates for an aging population is rubbish; immigrants also age and become a burden, and there is even no guarantee that they will be economically productive in the first place, certainly their dependents won't be. And we really don't need them to care for us, thankyou.

"(2) What I don't understand is the fascination and obsession with ENRICHMENT OF THE EUROPEAN CULTURE. Was Europe culturally impoverished?"......

No, Europe was NEVER culturally impoverished. The whole specious 'enrichment' argument was engineered in an attempt to pacify and subdue the indignation of the indigenous peoples when it became clear that the new arrivals had no intention of 'fitting in with the local scene', as it were.

"(3) Child grooming, molestation/rapes, counselors trying to hush up the matter and threaten the victims, victims being subjected to psychiatric care ( no one knows whether it's due to the understandable irreversible traumatic experience that requires psychiatric care or it's again an attempt at hushing up with medication). I will highly appreciate a detailed reply on my email from anybody......"

As far as the UK is concerned, this appalling episode in its history, when gratuitous racist depravity from an alien minority was allowed to run riot at the expense of thousands of innocent English girls, will be looked back on with utter disgust. Not only will the perpetrators be villified, but also those in the establishment who connived at it by covering it up either with conspicuously gross under-reporting and - even more repulsively - by cynically mounting appallingly contrived high-profile witch-hunts against respected established celebrities (dead or alive) as a disgustingly crude publicity smokescreen to protect the criminal gangs as they were finally brought to court to answer for their unspeakably obnoxious crimes.

"Mind well I am an Indian but not one of those who want an apology from Britain about what happened during the Raj or one who is trying foolishly to get the Kohinoor back.I feel, let bygones be bygones-let's work together against a common threat...."

Yes, I think we ought to apologise for effectively creating an internationally viable country in your part of the world, which, to judge by history, you apparently never previously quite managed to create yourselves; and leaving you with a comprehensive body of governmental, industrial, commercial, educational, legal, sanitary and transport infrastructures which otherwise you might not have had, at least to quite the same extent and quality. It really is a terribel thing we did. I too wish that bygones could be bygones. In fact, looking around at the evidence in the UK today, I wish that the British Empire in the Indian subcontinent had never happened.

You will no doubt gather that I'm NOT a 'leftist'.

Thanks very much indeed, Jayell.

I had asked these questions since these are the claims made in Germany by the politicians and some "intellectuals". I should have made this very clear.

I have read Hasta La Vista Europe--about how things have been happening in Europe and was very saddened by how people and children are forced to accept the migrants.
